Our awesome News Crew produces a live morning news show every day from a studio in the library. Our 5 teams of 4th and 5th graders learn how to write the scripts, create announcement slides, manage the Pledge of Allegiance set-up, keep up with events, direct, produce, and rehearse. We work hard and have a lot of fun! 25 students are chosen each year through the Leadership Application process.

Battle of the Books is a trivia competition on 10 predetermined books. Our final team will consist of 5 players and 5 alternates. One of these students will be our official Speaker to give answers. We will compete in a regional competition. Teams who win this round will advance to the finals. Our final team will consist of 10 students who have read EVERY book. This final team will be decided by the end of January. The decision will be based on points earned. Students can earn points by attending practice, scoring well on quizzes, and knowing the authors' names. Those that make the final team will be expected to finish all 10 books by the end of February. We will continue to practice to prepare for our spring competitions.
